Command & Control Sys-Consolidated (CCS-C)
Abstract
The Military Satellite Communications (MILSATCOM) Command and Control System-Consolidated (CCS-C) system provides integrated launch and on-orbit command and control (C2) functionality at Schriever AFB and Vandenberg AFB for MILSATCOM satellites. Schriever AFB is used for primary operations and Vandenberg AFB is used for backup operations. CCS-C uses modified commercial off the shelf hardware/software to control emerging and legacy MILSATCOM systems including Milstar, Defense Satellite Communications System (DSCS), Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS) and Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) satellites. The CCS-C project 657102 funds system architecture evolution to provide increased performance for additional satellites and to comply with DoD, Air Force, and Air Force Space Command (AFSPC)-directed standards for Information Assurance, Satellite Control Standardization, and Net-Readiness. This continuing effort was previously funded in the FY 2014 President's Budget and prior as an Acquisition Category II (ACAT II) program. With the 10 October 2013 Final Operational Capability (FOC) declaration, the program has transitioned to an ACAT III program, the CCS-C Assurance and Capability Enhancement (CACE), beginning FY 2014. FY 2020 will be the final year for the CACE effort. The newly enhanced CCS-C system will remain and continue to be funded with O&M funds. The WGS and AEHF procurement program elements fund the mission unique software and databases for the WGS Block II Follow-On satellites and the AEHF 4-6 satellites, respectively. Programs and projects in the space warfighting enterprise are evaluating ways to maximize innovation, resiliency, and our ability to rapidly respond to known and emerging threats. Space enterprise efforts aim to execute technology risk reduction efforts, integration of new or repurposed capabilities, enterprise decision-making tools, experimentation, and rapid prototyping and fielding via all appropriate acquisition authorities and contract mechanisms.
